I've only just seen this... did you sort it?
If not, you can bring it to me at the workshop and I'll take it off for you.

They've been class on all their UK dates.
Loved them.

BOFFFF!!!!!!!

Lovely bike.
Tasteful finish.
Great client.
Would rep.

Well played.

All good.
Thanks for this.

I've sorted list for it now.

Cheers though!

OOOH
That's my actual birthday... I'm keen.
How much are the tickets?

I was there.
It was rad.

That sucks.
Sorry!

I'm sure it will be shit anyway and you won't be missing anything!

#wouldrep

Thanks

Not gig related... but...

Is it pronounced "MEELO" or "MYLO"?

No... but I hope you get one.

I couldn't miss it.

It's on Dice so maybe get on the returns list?
If you haven't already.

You're too kind.

Thanks for being a great customer!

Your clear ideas made this a lot of fun to create.

Can't wait to see it built up!

Yeah. Losing Mark Hollis is a tragedy.

That run of 100 Club Shows was a bit odd to be honest.
"Fred Perry present..."
Odd corporate taste-maker shows.
The bands didn't play full sets or encores.
Squid didn't play 'The Dial' which seemed odd.

The Black Country New Road one was great but I don't think they've got legs beyond their cult Indie status.

Black Midi is genuinely one of the most exciting things to experience.
Their youthful chaos is infectious!

I LOVE Bush Hall!
I haven't ever delved into Big Thief though.
Worth it?

Having dinner on the balcony at Jazz Cafe is class!

Sick.
I'm at that Talk Talk tribute show on the Southbank too!

Squid were brilliant live last week at 100 club.
I'd go see them again for sure. The vinyl version of the EP is due but not til November which is infuriating. They threw a little Daniel Johnston into a song last week and they covered a Robert Wyatt track at EOTR. That's a surefire way to please me.

I'm a bit of a black midi fan boy if I'm honest. Four shows this year so far.
I was at the Mercury awards last night and they blew the roof off... people didn't know how to take them. Matt's fucking goofy somersault was sick. First TV appearance and they made an absolute mockery of it.

I've seen Mystery Jets a few times. They're always a good live prospect.

My calender is looking good atm...

Charles Hayward and Kwake Bass tonight. I've got Pom Poko, Lightning Bolt, Tropical Fuck Storm, KGATLW, Anna Meredith and Richard Dawson imminent too.

It's been a really fucking great year for music in this country... probably because everything else about it is fucked.

Sorry you never got there.
At least someone did right?

Who else you got lined up?

Wish I'd seen this!
Did they go?

Clearcoat needs to contact the paint in order for the two to chemically bond properly.
Your sticker is a barrier stopping that from happening.

The sticker is held on the bike only by the adhesive backing and the clearcoat isn't fixed to the sticker with anything significant - any minor flexing or contact/knocks will cause this to crack.

If you know what you're doing, it's a perfectly normal process to remove the sticker with abrasives, feather out the area, re-prime, re-paint, re-clear and then polish it to blend the spot repair.

The type of paint products you can/should use will depend on those already used on the original finish... as above, quality chemical bonds need to be achieved and not all paint products can work together, especially on a fully cured finish.

As for the Rotex dilemma?
You don't need to use a Festool sander to remove the original finish.
In fact, I'd steer you away from any power tools for this.
The tubes on your bike are round... the tool face is flat.
Remove the stickers and that area by hand... you also can avoid spending hundreds on the abrasives.

If you're looking to have the current finish removed and a new one applied, drop me a DM and we can see if we can get your frameset into our workshop for a new finish.

Hello Richie.
I'm keen on the speakers.
I'm Catford based so could swing round and collect.
DM incoming.

Glad you had fun.

Greg's probably my favourite drummer... if not him then maybe Zach Hill.
They're both equally bat shit.

Did the ticket find a home?

I was at that show last night.
It was great but I'd have preferred the other room... a Deerhoof show isn't really a seated affair.

There's a bit of info about some of the common options in the broad spectrum (pun intended) of refinishing processes available for bikes - https://colecoatingsworkshop.com/process

Also, although not comprehensive... this person goes into a little more technical information but in the most part is referring to auto application rather than bikes, where there are many big differences - Jalopy Journal

I'm based in Dulwich during work hours.
You can borrow mine if you wish.
Drop me a DM.
Cheers.

No problem.
Any time.

• Use a credit card to tickle any air bubbles out of the application sheet.
  
• Use low-tack masking tape to mark guides and to help line up your graphics. You can also draw over the application tape with a sharpie if that helps.
  
• Gently heat the masks/stencils down once they're in position - a hairdryer is fine.
  
• Lay down as little product as you can. If the area is covered, leave it... don't add 'one for luck' or 'just to be sure' - too much product means poor adhesion and furry lines/edges.
  
• Use a sharp blade to very carefully lift up the stencils after you've applied the colour (most of us tend to use a Swann Morton No 10 blade on a No 3 handle) - blade marks mean you're bad at painting!
  
• A mild solvent on a clean microfibre cloth will remove any glue residue from the vinyl (look for 'Panel Wipe' or 'Antistatic Degreaser'). It should also take care of any "fallout" or accidental overspray if you're careful.
